Stirring slowly back to life

I'm rising laboriously from my wreckage.  My brain is sputtering back to life and my hands are itching again to move.  Capital developments, all around.

I've got another show at the hostel lined up.  It was tentatively set to open next Friday, but I have pushed it back to give me some time to prepare.  I think I have everything set out to show, but I am planning on running this by my crack team of advisors (ok, crack team of advisor) and making small adjustments.  I recently completed a triptych what will sit at the center of the whole thing, which is as follows-

generator

sustainer

annihilator

I had the vision of this thing in a flash of inspiration as I was falling asleep three days ago.  I hazily groped for my sketchbook and a pencil, whereon I scrawled out reminders in my pictorial shorthand.  On waking, I had no recollection of this until I chanced upon the book in a heap by my bed.  I finished one a day in what has been my first flurry of activity in weeks.  I'm pleased with the result.  It follows sort of a creation/preservation/destruction narrative, but more actually it's just a series of awesome things involving elk.  I love elk.  I expect to see more of the lancer and his be-stechhelmed steed in the future.

Other things I've got in the works include a Nebuchadnezzar series of woodwose-king drawings, a picture of Minos from The Inferno by request, and the completion of a great many partially-painted things abandoned in my torpor.  More information to follow as it reaches the news room.

In other news, I am still in limbo.  My personal life has been a rollercoaster which I have been advised on all sides to get off of.  But I won't.  Or else I can't.  I'm still unsure.  We'll see what happens today.  Everything could change in an evening.  It's happened before.
